Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Next to a village connected to a small hill, two cars stopped.

Lin Xiuyuan pretended to walk around with Bu Hong and a group of Power Element Ability Users, muttering:

"Brother Da Ming, it's here, right? I remember it seemed to be around here."

"It should be. Let's go check over there, Xiaohong is a bit carsick, so let's have her stay here,"

Lu Hao pointed in a completely opposite direction from where Su Jin, who was invisible, had gone.

Bu Hong nodded and followed him. The group diligently searched through every patch of mutant grass.

Finally, after strolling around the small hill, neither large nor tall, a Power Element Ability User ran back excitedly.

"Really! There really are cows!"

The Power Element Ability User was so excited he was incoherent; he had thought he was seeing things, but there were indeed several genuine, robust cows!

Lin Xiuyuan and Lu Hao exchanged a glance; it seemed that Su Jin's side had already settled things.

The five cows were still a bit unaccustomed to the suddenly strange environment. Just a moment ago they were leisurely grazing and napping in the space, and the next second they appeared in an unfamiliar place.

However, to Bu Hong's group, their panic seemed completely normal.

"They probably haven't seen humans for a long time, this is really… incredibly rare."

Bu Hong remarked.

"These cows likely escaped from this village; there are even dairy cows!"

Guo You shouted excitedly.

Three dairy cows, and two yellow cattle—one male and one female—each robust and with shiny, lustrous coats.

"Mutant cows, right? They're huge,"

someone commented.

"Whatever they are, as long as they're not zombie cows, why not transport them back?"

Lin Xiuyuan pretended to examine them with interest before speaking.

What are five cows compared to the endless cattle they have in their space…

Considered to be precious jewels, the five cows had just left the space when they were carefully carried or transported by a group of Power Element Ability Users into the truck, while the three planned to return.

Upon returning to their drop-off point, the group found Zhang Xiaohong standing outside the car, seemingly taking a breath of fresh air.

"On behalf of all the base's people, thank you,"

Bu Hong bowed deeply.

"Big Brother Bu, we're always running around with them, not convenient to keep, and a pity to slaughter, so no need for thanks,"

Lin Xiuyuan laughed.

"Are you really leaving now? It's already afternoon,"

Guo You said a bit worriedly; it wouldn't be safe when it got dark.

"We're pressed for time on this trip, can't stay long, you should hurry back,"

Lu Hao urged them. Although they weren't far from the F City base, they had encountered numerous zombies along the way. Bringing the cows safely back to the base as soon as possible would make Su Jin's efforts worthwhile.

After bidding farewell to Bu Hong and his group, the three breathed a sigh of relief. Now they just needed to find a secluded spot to enter the space and use the Teleportation Array to return to the S City base.

"Grandpa and Grandma even selected two pregnant cows on purpose,"

Su Jin said, looking in the direction the truck had left.

"Hope they can raise them successfully,"

Lu Hao chuckled.

They weren't in a hurry to return to the S City base, as the effects of the Face-changing Pill would wear off around evening. So after driving the car out, the three entered a deserted clearing with people and vehicle into the space.

The family was eager to applaud the seamless operation of the three; in just five days, they had managed to settle the F City base's resource trade. Originally, Su Xiangzhe and the others planned to negotiate one or two more days with Tang Xue for Su Jin and the others, but it seemed completely unnecessary now.

"How's the Heart Talk Store doing?"

Su Jin asked.

Guo Yang and the others were to go with them this time, so a notice had been posted at the Heart Talk Store a week ago, informing that all resource transactions would be transferred to the Heart Talk Branch for the next few months, with no changes in prices.

"Guo Yang and the others are all prepared, it's just that the past few days Liao Yifan and Xue Wanyi have been busy transitioning with the new instructor,"

Su Xiangzhe replied.

However, Liang Jiuhui had mentioned that the positions of Liao Yifan and Xue Wanyi would remain reserved, since the two were going to the Y Autonomous Region to enhance their abilities, and when they returned, they could continue their work.

"That's good to know."

The three rested in the space for a while until the effects of the Face-changing Pill wore off; Su Jin eagerly embraced Local Tyrant Gold as she left the space, longing to see Lu Xi and Lu Wang even a second sooner.

According to Lin Tianhui, the two little ones had been crawling all over the place these past few days, seemingly searching for their parents.

Lu Xi and Lu Wang had developed motor skills earlier than most kids; at less than six months old, the two little ones were already crawling quite adeptly, showing signs of wanting to stand and walk.

Upon seeing Su Jin and Lu Hao enter from the doorway, the two kiddos babbled excitedly, swiftly crawling towards the entrance.

Listening to the baby babble of the two little ones, Su Jin couldn't help but give Lu Xi a kiss on the cheek.

"Ah ah ah,"

Lu Wang seemed displeased, stretching out his little arms, yearning for Mommy's affection.

"Aren't my two nephews just the cutest?"

Lin Xiuyuan remarked when he entered and saw the two little ones crawling over, as even he, a practical straight guy, was nearly overwhelmed with their cuteness.

"Aren't they though, they've been keeping us entertained these days,"

Huang Yunxiang genuinely adored little Lu Xi and Lu Wang. In the five days Su Jin and Lu Hao were away, they hadn't felt it a burden at all to help with the babies.

She wished Lin Xiuyuan would quickly let her fulfill her dream of becoming a grandma.

"By the way, Brother Xiuyuan, while you were gone, your female friend dropped this off for you,"

Mao Qiqi said, taking a small box from the table.

Curious, Lin Xiuyuan took and opened the box, revealing several Ice-Element Crystal Cores inside.

"Female friend? Who?"

Lin Xiuyuan asked.

"Who else, Yixiao! Oh, right, son, we're leaving for a long trip tomorrow, so you should return the favor with a gift,"

Huang Yunxiang remembered and quickly fetched some homemade sweets from the kitchen, suggesting Lin Xiuyuan deliver them as a gesture.

Originally, she had no specific feelings about Jiang Yixiao, but after spending two days together learning about her character, she started having some thoughts.

With space abilities, beauty, and kindness, although a bit clumsy, Jiang Yixiao had saved Lin Xiuyuan's life after all. Coupled with their being the same age, she couldn't find anyone more suitable to be her daughter-in-law.

"Oh come on, Mom, you deliver it for me. I'm so tired after just getting back,"

Lin Xiuyuan's response shattered Huang Yunxiang's fantasy. What a dull-witted son, it seemed her dream of becoming a grandma was still far off…
